A more common way to save money on domestic flights is to take advantage of what the trade calls flyover, point-beyond or hidden-city ticketing. For example, not long ago the normal one-way coach fare between San Francisco and Atlanta was $420 on nonstop flights of Delta or Eastern. But Delta was selling seats on the same flight to Tampa, Florida — a point beyond Atlanta — for $179. Thus, a San Franciscan bound for Atlanta could have saved $241 by buying a ticket to Tampa and simply leaving the plane at its first stop.

In the New York area, a forty-six-passenger bus equipped with a rest room will probably rent for $500 to $700 a day for transportation alone, depending on distance. Elsewhere the rates are probably cheaper.
